"@Diego: No isn't a good solution. You can use it to update m328's firmware on SPI port as well as to upload de bootloader. But it doesn't work as the FTDI. You need an FTDI adapter to work around the ArduCAM Config tool."
George commented on Sandro Benigno's blog post MinimOSD in DIYDrones Store!"If it helps, I already played this game, no joy.
My humble advice would be to just use Arduino 0023. I couldn't find a workable patch."

I'm a big fan of Kare Halvorsen's work from biped to multi-pod spiders. His robots are always pretty well tuned to work on his customized RC control with lots of buttons.
This awesome project above is titled MorpHex which is Kare's entry on "BOCA BEARINGS 2012 INNOVATION COMPETITION".

While SkyWalker is out-of stock in almost everywhere, new big size foam models are popping out in many places out there. I just can't stop looking at this one... looks so nice!
The question here is, are those beautiful models really useful for FPV or being our Drones? I would be afraid of breaking such a beautiful thing... and the 2360mm wing…

Legal ver um brazuca por aqui, ainda mais envolvido com um dos projetos.
Eu conheço o DIYDrones há algum tempo. Também comecei a brincar com o Arducopter antes dele integrar ao DIYDrones, mas não terminei de construir o meu modelo.
Queria trocar umas ideias com você sobre OSH, Arducopter e o DIYDrones. Tem um GTalk ou algo do tipo?

visitando a pag do fahpah encontrei dois kits a venda (o segundo $ 499 e o terceiro $ 579) pelo que entendi a diferenca entre eles era somente que os componentes ja vinham soldados e testados, e os programas gravados em cd, seria somente isso?
Sera que vamos ter um representante aqui no Brasil ???

Manoel de Deus Mascarenhas Filho said… Good morning. As everyone knows, the spots and DIYdrones forum should be posted in English. We also all know that due to the variety of subjects is complicated participate in blogs and help those in need. As I'm assembling more than a year my autopilot, having faced all sorts of problems, I propose creating a more direct channel of communication between members of DIYDRONES in Brazil. So, please consult the other Brazilians on how this tool would be interested and if we have. grateful for the collaboration

Omar Achraf said… Hi Sandro, how are you? Congratulations to your effort on diydrones comunnity!
I would like to present with you the weblink of a project I having with my fellows. The project is called Team Abequar,A Brazilian team we are building a platform to be used in the next UAV Outback Challenge - Search&Rescue. We already passed Delivery 1 and we are doing tests for the next delivery. As a core autopilot and flight termination we are using APMs. Please visit our page www.abequar.net.br. There you will see about Abequar and Super Abequar too.
kind regards,
Omar
